It is said that Chengdu is a city that you don't want to leave when you come, and a "leisure capital" that slows down time.
how many people can't wait to come here because of the song "Chengdu"?
And I, a "tourist" who lived here for two years,
came here for work, and later, I left here for my family.
Today, when I set foot on this homeland again because of my yearning, all the moments of the past come to my mind.
I came to this city for work a few years ago. I am usually busy with work, have less rest, and have no time to go out and have a good stroll. Until I left here, I missed the city more and more: I missed the food in Chengdu, my friends in Chengdu, and my life alone that year.
This trip to Chengdu, I want to play in Chengdu seriously! Not alone, but also with my family, I want to show them the place where I once lived.
Although I'm not particularly familiar with Chengdu, it's always much better than people who come here for the first time! So in choosing accommodation and life, I made a special study.
Because of the traffic problem, the location of the city center was specially chosen. After all, it is convenient to eat, drink and have fun near the city center, and it is also a concentrated place for many scenic spots. Especially now, the number of subway lines in Chengdu has increased, making it very convenient to travel, and many scenic spots can be directly reached by subway. After several comparisons, I chose a hotel apartment near the western international financial center, which is newly opened, so the room environment and facilities are very clean, especially suitable for family trips. The room has complete supporting facilities, washing machines and refrigerators, and family members are comfortable when they go out and live outside. What attracts me most is that you can go downstairs and cross a street, which is very convenient! Because I used to do business in Chengdu, when I was in Chengdu, Taikooli was not opened, so I always wanted to have a chance to visit this legendary hipster base when I went to Chengdu! When choosing a hotel this time, I also paid special attention to the nearby places. The name of the hotel is very foreign, TFsuites. At first, I thought it had something to do with TFboy. Later, after reading the hotel introduction and photos, I thought it was quite to my taste, so I decided.
Next, let's share the tourist attractions in the past few days. There are not many places to visit, but they are all very representative, and the feeling is enough.
Go to Wuhou Temple
Feel the distant history. The red wall bamboo shadow, a famous golden official in Chengdu, is here, and it is also the most influential museum of the Three Kingdoms in the world. The propaganda film of Chengdu shot by Zhang Yimou, the girl flying a kite, is here.
Admission: 6 yuan, half price for students.
Opening hours: 7:3-21: in summer and 8: -18: 3 in winter
Address: No.231 Wuhou Temple Street, Wuhou District
Transportation: Take bus No.57, No.91, No.334, No.1 and No.55 and get off at Wuhou Temple Station.
Jinli
Jinli is a part of Chengdu Wuhou Temple Museum (Three Kingdoms Historical Relics Area, Jinli Folk Custom Area, West Area). It is said that Jinli was once one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Western Shu, and Wuhou Temple and Jinli were together, so don't miss the traditional snacks and specialty shops in the old street less than 4 meters away, the first street in Western Shu.
Kuanzhai Lane
It's a complete trip to Chengdu and Kuanzhai Lane. Kuanzhai Lane is located near Changshun Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It is composed of wide alleys, narrow alleys and well alleys arranged in parallel, all of which are antique quadrangles with indigo bricks. It is also a relatively large-scale ancient street of Qing Dynasty left over from Chengdu. Together with Daci Temple and Wenshuyuan, it is called the protected block of Chengdu's three historical and cultural cities, so it is naturally antique.
Address: east of Tongren Road and west of Changshun Street, Qingyang District
Transportation: You can take bus No.62, No.7, No.93, No.163 and No.34 and get off at Changshun Shangjie Station or People's Park Station of Metro Line 2.
Panda Base
When you come to Sichuan, you must go to the Giant Panda Base to see the cute pandas, the cute and naive national treasures, which can really melt your heart! If you are a friend with children, then this scenic spot can't be missed! You can take the bus from each starting point to the zoo bus stop/then turn to 198 or 198A, and then get off at the panda base. It is recommended to play for 2-3 hours.
Opening hours: 8:-18:
Address: No.1375, Panda Avenue, Waibei, chenghua district, Chengdu
Dujiangyan
Ask about Qingcheng Mountain. A place with historical precipitation must come! There is a direct train from Chengdu to Dujiangyan, so book the train ticket in advance. When you get to Dujiangyan train station, you need to take a shuttle bus or taxi to Dujiangyan scenic spot (but it is recommended not to take a taxi, because those taxis will let you buy tickets for their scenic spots when you get on the bus). Taking the shuttle bus is actually quite convenient! Dujiangyan is spectacular, with a large inside, which can be visited all morning. There is also a South Bridge nearby. After visiting Dujiangyan, you can go to the South Bridge for a walk. The South Bridge is more like an ancient town, and there are many snacks in it. Because I used to go to Qingcheng Mountain during the spring outing of my company, I took my family with me this time, so I didn't go because I was afraid they were too tired! If you plan to go to Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain in one day, you will be in a hurry, because Dujiangyan is far from Qingcheng Mountain, so it takes two days to take a bus.
Tips: There will be buses (regular) at the gates of many scenic spots in Chengdu that go directly to another scenic spot. For example, there are tourist buses to Qingcheng Mountain, Dujiangyan and Panda Base at the entrance of Wuhou Temple. As long as you buy tickets for these scenic spots, you will be sent to the scenic spots free of charge and provided with guides along the way.
after talking about the scenic spots, the last thing to say is: Chengdu cuisine! This is also my most interesting part!
Speaking of the delicious food in Chengdu, there are really a lot of them. I am a foodie, and I like spicy food best, so I have lived in Chengdu for two years without any discomfort! ! Only the rhythm of long meat!
Let's share some snacks in Chengdu first! You can buy it all over the street, which can kill the delicious food in your mouth!
ice powder &; Lianggao
Ice powder, I really fell in love with ice powder after I came to Sichuan, and it is also one of the standard items when eating hot pot and skewers! Most of the ice powder will be added with hawthorn, raisins, brown sugar and so on, and some also have winter melon candy and so on. It is best to eat it together when eating string hot pot. I'm also super fond of cold cakes. I found that Sichuanese especially like to eat brown sugar. In Wuhan, this thing only appeared in my life when my period was coming! But after coming to Sichuan, it's different. There is brown sugar in Zanba, brown sugar in ice powder, brown sugar in cold cakes, and most importantly, it's not delicious without brown sugar!
mom rabbit head & Weiwei duck skull
Speaking of rabbit skull, I really don't exaggerate to say that I really need to eat it when I come to Chengdu. There is a movie that says how to eat rabbits. At this time, I have already eaten rabbit heads and tasted the delicious rabbit heads. For me, the inner os is that you have never eaten rabbit heads. How do you know that rabbit heads are so delicious! There is also a duck head. Sichuanese say that the duck skull is also delicious! At first, I really didn't dare to eat, so I forced myself to eat with my eyes closed, and actually destroyed several! The taste is really gone!
There are many famous snacks in Chengdu. The Three Cannons/Brown Sugar Pot Helmets/Beef Pot Helmets/Sugar Oil Fruits are all delicious. There is no specific store to recommend them, but they are basically good! Don't forget to buy it as long as you meet it!
Then I recommend several online celebrity stores to you, and call them online celebrity because many bloggers have been to them, and they have won unanimous praise! The taste is definitely gone, and I went with the wind! So, you can search on the map and try it! Tips: basically, you have to wait in line, so you must be patient if you want to eat delicious food!
Xiaolongkan Hotpot (Chunxi Branch)
Xiaolongkan on Chunxi Road, near Taikooli, is crowded and has a good brain. You must try it! In addition, if you want to eat brown sugar Zanba, which is a must for hot pot, don't miss it if you like sweets! Bite it crunchy, it's waxy inside, and add sugar-like brown sugar, which is awesome!
Fight for strings
Address: No.33, Jixiang Street, next to Kuixinglou Street, with 8 attached (near Kuanzhai Lane).
go straight inside and you'll see this house. The boss is a typical Chengdu person, and the prices of all the strings in his family are also reasonable. .5 yuan signs, and you can take whatever you want. Some other single-point price lists are posted on the wall, and it is worth recommending pig brain and ice powder, and drinks can be taken directly. It is a completely self-sufficient open mode. For their strings, you can come if you are not afraid of spicy food!
Heji Egg Baked Cake Head Office
I ate the famous egg baked cake in Chengdu here. The amazing thing about the egg baked cake is that it can match with any flavor. There are more than ten kinds of flavors, such as brown sugar, condensed milk, pork floss, ham, etc., and the price is between 2.5 and 3.5. It is absolutely not a problem to eat two or three at a time! Just use a small pot, and then put a sandwich in it, about 2 or 3 minutes. One cake will be quick, and the egg cake must be eaten while it is hot. It is crispy and fragrant, and all kinds of sandwiches inside are icing on the cake!
Chengdu is a city that you have visited many times and will go again. If you want to travel and don't know where to go, Chengdu is really suitable. Although there is no chance to stay here, there are many memories of my life here, so I will definitely come here often!
